Pros: Well-made, smooth focus, sharp stopped down

Cons: Not as sharp as modern lenses, has some CA, less sharp wide open

Opinion: I have had this lens since the late 80s. I adapted it to mirrorless and used it on Fuji and Sony cameras. It doesn't hold up against modern designs like the Fuji 80mm macro or the Sigma 105mm DG DN ART, but stopped down it still produces very sharp images (f/5.6 and smaller). I really like the smooth manual focus. At longer subject distances, focus is very quick. However once in the closeup range, the focus throw is longer and therefore more precise. It does not have internal focus and this has pros and cons. It gets longer as you focus closer, but the focal length doesn't change like IF lenses. It loses 2 stops of light at 1:1 magnification, which is just physics but useful to understand. This lens is worth using if you like manual focus and use a tripod.
